I'm guessing she hasn't given a lot of thought.. to her... thoughts..

Whaling was banned but many Scandinavian countries still take part in whaling citing "cultural" heritage.

As for mining. Timber industries largest producer, CANADA.
Mining industry ? pick a category, but the US is rarely the leader here.. Coal, China, Most metals, China, Gemstones, Russia.. but again.. NICE TRY ! LOLOLOLOL

There aren't many Scandinavian countries to begin with- only three, and Norway is the only one that practices whaling.

Timber is not mining.
The USA is the world's largest producer and user of timber.

I wasn't talking about any single one type of mining, and neither were you. WE were talking mining altogether (What next, will the bauxite champion of the world please stand up?).

Further, your ridiculously stupid question was

"DOES THAT MEAN YOU'RE OKAY WITH THE UNITED STATES RE-FOCUSING ON TIMBER AND MINING INDUSTRIES AND REINSTATING WHALING AS A TOP MEANS OF SUPPLYING FOOD"

as if the US needed to revive it.
